Hello,
I am seeing a strange situation where I cannot exceed 8 paths in a vfc guest and wanted to see if anyone else has seen this.
I have server 2012 parent with Hyper-v and connecting to a storage controllers which have 16 target ports. 8 nodes, 2 ports each.
I have a brocade dual fabric and connect a single initiator to 8 targets in a zone on each fabric.
After enabling the zones I see on the parent 16 virtual ports in my qlogic qconvergedconsole on the Parent server. 8 on each HBA port. I go to my guest and I do not see a lun. I reboot the guest and check for a lun nothing.
After rebooting the server 2012, I check the vm and a lun is seen with 8 only paths. I check the parent and now I only see 4 virtual target ports per HBA.
I tried the same scenario with 4 node controllers and 4 target ports. Same behavior. 16 targets show up in HBA, after reboot of parent server only 8 ports.
Does Hyper-v have a hidden limit of only 8 paths and reduce the number of exposed virtual ports in the parent server?
Has anyone tried more than 8 paths and it work?
Thanks in advance.
